I've installed Ubuntu. The installation appears to have worked, but the user details that I put in during installation do not appear. There is only a guest user account available which does not allow me to do anything - I can't create a new 'normal' user account, access my Wifi network or anything. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any suggestions?

You should log into your ubuntu box in single user mode, which will dump you into a root shell. Then you should be able to create a new user, or to change its password, so you can reboot and log in.
See here on how to do it: How do I boot into single-user mode from GRUB?
To change password for another user, type: passwd <username>
To add a new user, use adduser.
